Pros

The clientele can be nice, and the coworkers we currently have are great.

Cons

Enough is never enough for upper management. No matter how much you do, you meet a goal and they move the goal post. Even reducing bonuses even though you've met corporate standards. Lots of long, hard hours with little to no appreciation. The compensation is sad for the amount of work involved. I feel like my company has turned on me after years of loyal service.

Pros

Depending on your franchise you can level up in pay and make a lot of money , as long as you have good customer service you get great tips, product incentives, productivity incentives, holiday pay!

Cons

Depending on the owner and franchisee you will get great pay or absolutely horrible pay, some Greatclips you will get your credit card tips the same day. Other Greatclips add it to your check (which is absolutely ridiculous)! Some managers only car for themselves.

Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
